The pitching matchups for the Angels’ series against the Yankees that starts on Friday at Angel Stadium – Jered Weaver against Dan Giese on Friday, Joe Saunders against Andy Pettitte on Sunday.

The Yankees have yet to select a starter for Saturday. But, as expected, it does not look like Joba Chamberlain, who injured his shoulder on Monday pitching against the Texas Rangers, will be taking his turn in the rotation.

The injury could be more severe than thought and according to the New York Post, the Yankees today are recalling right-hander Chris Britton. Chamberlain apparently is headed for the 15-day disabled list.

The Yankees options for a starter against the Angels include former USC right-hander Ian Kennedy.
